Cincinnati Bengals impending free-agent WR Tee Higgins' next contract will likely top $30 million per year, according to a majority of the team personnel that spoke with Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com.
Footballguys view: Higgins is likely to get around $30 million per year on the open market, and the Bengals are unlikely to keep him for that price as they need to get a deal done with Ja'Marr Chase. He will become one of the highest-paid receivers in the league this offseason, and then Higgins will have to work on his availability. In five pro seasons, Higgins has never played a full regular season schedule. Over the past two seasons, Higgins has only appeared in 12 games each year. When highly paid, that's something his new team will want to change. |

Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow was named The Associated Press' Comeback Player of the Year Thursday, Feb. 6.
Footballguys view: This award's criteria is coming back from "illness, physical injury, or other circumstances that led him to miss playing time the previous season", so Sam Darnold wasn't a strong candidate even though he might have been the winner if the criteria was reviving your career from a trough of disappointment. Burrow's 2023 was basically a lost season because of his wrist injury, but he regained elite form in both NFL and fantasy terms in 2024 despite barely missing the playoffs. Now he is playing GM in the media and lobbying the team to sign both Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins to long term contracts this offseason. The fantasy players with any of the three on their teams hope the Bengals follow his advice. |

Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow said he'd be willing to restructure his contract if it helped the team retain core players.
Footballguys view: Burrow is talking about WR Ja'Marr Chase. The Bengals have no leverage, and they have to sign the best receiver in the league (arguably) to a contract that makes him the highest-paid receiver in NFL history. There are others the Bengals need to sign as well (Tee Higgins, Trey Hendrickson), but Chase is the main player to get paid this offseason. |
